I lost 30+ lbs recently. Feeling great. More energetic and focused. My journey involved:
- opting to exercise more. I adopted a dog to help motivate to go on daily walks. No gym membership required.
- opting to use public transportation where necessary and use a car when only necessary (prefer biking or walking now). Helps me stay fit and active without having to go to a gym.
- significant changes in diet. Reduced consumption of meat. Reduced consumption of sugar and artificially sweetened foods and replacing with fruits. Increased consumption of more leafy vegetables and opting for more healthier options such as salmon (omega-3s, ”healthy fats”).
- intermittent fasting. Very difficult at first but was able to find my groove after a couple of weeks
- added a few OTC supplements as part of routine as recommended by doc (vitamin d3 , fish oil)
I am fortunate enough to have been able to do this without any supplemental Rx medications like off label usage of “ozempic”.
I will admit it did take some time. Maybe 2-3 months to begin to reap the fruits of my labor but it was definitely worth it.

I think many people get discouraged because they see ads where people lose x lbs in y days. But, it’s important to remember that change is hard. You didn’t get to where you are in a few days and you won’t change yourself sustainably in a few days.
